West Lothian Council currently applies a living wage supplement to all employees earning less than £7.65 per hour.

Have you graduated within the last 18 months? Are you currently unemployed? Do you live in West Lothian? Are you aged 25 or under?

If you answered yes to these 4 questions then West Lothian Council's Graduate Work Experience Scheme may be for you.

The scheme aims to give recent graduates valuable work experience, including an understanding of how large complex and diverse organisations operate, providing you with development opportunities and the chance to undertake exciting research projects, enabling you to obtain valuable employment based skills and experience to supplement your existing qualifications.

Opportunities are available in a variety of council services from Corporate Procurement and Countryside Services to Social Policy and for more information click on the attached links.

If you meet the essential criteria and want to develop your skills in a high performing, customer focussed environment then we would love to hear from you.
